We miss DNAinfo Chicago

Me with DNAinfo reporter/producer Patty Wetli and editors Andrew Hermann and Shamus Toomy

I was able to host a thank you party for our local DNAinfo Chicago reporter and producer Patty Wetli and associates a couple weeks ago. The hyper-local journal was suddenly shut down in November by its owner. We gathered at Empirical Brewery 1801 W Foster in Lincoln Square with friends who appreciated Patty's DNAinfo reporting. I personally owe a huge debt particularly to their real estate related reporting around the city.

Follow the former DNA journalists, editors and producers for their next chapter. These are just a handful of of folks who brought us the news we could use every day.

NIGHTLINE on house flipping?

NIGHTLINE has sucked ever since the premature exit of Ted Koppel. Tonight they rolled out a monster ego dude... One guy who has flipped a bunch of properties, but now is going down the toilet.

Who cares about this guy? He got greedy.

Now, the millions of viewers of this sham of a news show get their real estate information from a fluff piece.

Sham.
